The Chainsmokers Get Wistful On 'Beach House,' A Song About Listening To Beach House

Beach Home is a musical group from Baltimore that makes swirling, melty dream-pop brilliant for a couple of occasions including yet definitely not limited to watching a sunset, contemplating the nature of existence, and lying on your floor. "Myth" is an all-timer. Kendrick Lamar sampled their drowsy, whimsical "Silver Soul" for "Money Trees" in 2012.


The Chainsmokers likely know all this. Their new single, "Beach Home starts with Drew Taggart singing, "Woke up on the west side / Listening to Beach Home, taking my time." As soon as the song hit on Friday (November 16), the duo tweeted that they were "listening to a lot of [B]each [H]ouse" once they made it.


These guys like Beach Home, it would seem. "Beach Home although, does not sound like Beach Residence. "Beach Home sounds like a prototypical Chainsmokers track, lyrically charged with sexual energy and complete with a big beat drop soon following the hook. That same tweet revealed that Taggart and his partner, Alex Pall, "tried to get back to our roots on this with that classic OG Chainsmoker feel."


And it's true — "Beach Residence is very festival-ready, like all of the group's biggest hits. Its breakdown mirrors "Closer," their juggernaut EDM-lite pop smash with Halsey that topped the Hot 100 chart for 12 weeks a couple of years prior. Genetically, it's much airier than the chaotic "Sick Boy," which is the correct move for a song called "Beach Residence that references the musical group Beach House.


It should be noted for posterity that Beach Home have no comment on the song, as their reps told Pitchfork earlier today. You could listen to "Beach Residence above, and then listen to Beach House's cosmic latest album, 7, below.
